Storm Track Infiltration: Muslim Cabbies At It Again

Sweetness and Light picked up this little reported news from Chicago Sun-Times. It seems 500 Muslim cab drivers have not only been collecting the blessings of Allah during Ramadan but also some traffic tickets too.

Faisal, a taxicab driver who works at O’Hare Airport, wants to be a good cabbie while staying true to his Muslim faith. But Muslim cabdrivers are finding the latter difficult lately, as they’ve been hit with a rash of tickets for parking in access lanes leading to the airport terminals near where the city helped set up a prayer trailer for them.

Drivers such as Faisal say they mean no harm by parking in the lanes leading to the prayer trailer on the grounds of O’Hare’s commercial lot — which either have no-parking signs posted or are meant for brief stops.

I wonder what part of ‘No parking’ they don’t understand. Oh, that’s right. That’s an infidel rule at the airport – not applicable to Muslims.
